Exploring the cemetery and Argentine Jazz music

We were graced with another beautiful day in Argentina on Saturday. We went to Recoleta, one of the nicest neighborhoods in Argentina to see their famous cemetery. It is literally laid out like a mini village of mausoleums. They all have entire families inside. Many that are not well taken care of have no doors or spiderwebs covering the caskets, which definitely gives the cemetery a certain ambiance. Allison and I were a little nervous to look into a few tombs, because you get a very creepy feeling that something might jump out at you (or Noah might grab you from behind and make you jump :) There are thousands of tombs and we even saw Evita's family mausoleum.

We also spent time at a cathedral...which had a sign for offerings...labeled very poorly.
"church offerings" = "offerings for the cult"




After we left, we went to a store that makes custom leather jackets. Noah ordered one and it will be done on Tuesday. We'll take pictures of it then. I might go back with Noah and get a jacket as well, and Allison is contemplating leather pants!




Later in the evening we decided to explore a "Jazz Club" that is only 2 blocks away from Allison's apartment. It said it was an "Open-mic night for jazz" that started at about 11pm. We arrived at midnight and the music started about 30 minutes later. It was ok, but we thought it was funny what their version of Jazz was interpreted to be. It was more like a punk rock show!!!

Why is it that everywhere we go we always see people banging on buckets?
